Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, speaking about the threat of Western sanctions that would "ban even refrigerators" in Russia, said that this was not the worst thing, RBC correspondent reports. The corresponding question was asked by the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“Thank God, after all, dishwashers do not belong to the category of the very, very holy, as you say. In our society, they do not belong to the category of the most sacred. Although this is very important for the convenience of everyday life, ”the Kremlin representative answered the journalist’s question.
At the same time, Peskov acknowledged that reports of possible sanctions against Russia began to appear more and more often. However, in his opinion, this is primarily the creation of an informational background for the talks between Russia and the United States, which began the day before in Geneva.
“We see that, as a mantra, our American opponents continue to threaten about upcoming sanctions; it is obvious that stuffing is being carried out in various media. I would say that this belongs to the category of informational artillery preparation before the round of consultations that took place yesterday," Peskov said.
